Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Climate change can affect the availability of water resources in a given place and time to varying extents. Increasingly frequent droughts, along with their intensity and duration, cause changes in the quantity and quality of water resources. Drought is a complex phenomenon that affects society and various economic sectors. To properly manage droughts and adapt to them in the context of a changing climate, it is crucial not only to assess and forecast droughts, but also to understand both current and long-term drought risks and their impact on water resources. Therefore, we invite submissions of articles on drought monitoring and drought risk assessment, including adaptation to climate change in the context of drought, which will allow for a better understanding of the links between extreme droughts, both on a local and global scale, and their interaction with water resources. Original research articles as well as review articles are welcome.
